There seem to be a number of groups that may be of interest to you.
You obviously are aware of Usenet Groups, but have you considered
listservs?
*******************************************************
Dental-Marketing (just for example) has a brief description of what
these are and how to subscribe:
http://www.dental-implants.com/dental-marketing-list.html
"Discussion Groups or Mailing Lists as they are also called are a
means of a group of individuals with common interest to discuss those
interests. There are a zillion discussion groups on the Internet from
apples to zebras and they all function essentially in the same way.
You sign up on the list and then you can receive all of the emails
that are directed to the list and every Email that you send to the
list is sent to every member of the list. Discussion groups differ
from News Groups where you subscribe to the news group and then
download any messages that are on the newsgroup to read on your
computer at any time in the future.
Discussion groups may be private or public. A public group allows
anyone to subscribe to it, but in a private group, each subscriber
must be approved by the list owner. Some groups are also Moderated by
the list owner which means that the messages will be read before they
are sent out to the entire group.
This Group, DENTAL-MARKETING, will limit the discussion to all
marketing aspects of a private dental practice. this topic will
include marketing through the internet and effective web site design.
Discussion about software, companies, and hardware pertinent to these
topics will be encouraged.
You can also subscribe to this group by sending an Email to
DENTAL-MARKETING-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@home.ease.lsoft.com
the subscription address with the following in the body of the Email:
SUBSCRIBE DENTAL-MARKETING [your email address]
If the list accepts you, you will get a welcoming message which tells
you about the list and more importantly, tells you how to unsubscribe.
Please read the welcome message carefully. Keep this welcome message
for future reference.
To quit the discussion group, send a message to the
LISTSERV@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM as follows:
SIGNOFF DENTAL-MARKETING
There is more about signing off and other useful commands in the
welcome message.
